Tingon is a peninsula in the north-west of Northmavine, Shetland. It is delineated on the east by Ronas Voe, and on the west by Hamnavoe. It is designated as a Ramsar site,[2] a Special Protection Area,[3] a Special Area of Conservation[4] and a Site of Special Scientific Interest.[5] It is also the collective name of a group of settlements on the peninsula, which were nearly all evicted as part of the Highland Clearances.[6]

History

At its peak, Tingon had a number of crofts; there was a croft each at Knowes, Sannions, Sumra, Ocran, Ocraness, Quidadale, Westerhouse and Aurora (pronounced 'Rora). Additionally, Southerhouse, Northerhouse, and Easterhouse each had two crofts, making a total of 14. [7]
